This is a thought-provoking film from the perspective of society, civilization, human nature, science, and the universe.

The story is simple, a The little things that happen all the time in nature, from parasiting to evolution to symbiosis. The movie just shortens the process of hundreds of millions of years to the audience, and replaces Cordyceps sinensis with winter man's summer grass (the principle and plot are almost exactly the same as reality), and more of it is set in a strict, reasonable, and realistic scientific cognition. Next, spy on the works of human nature.

From the emergence of Homo sapiens to the formation of modern society, are there important determinants of other organisms in the middle?
Are human social models determined by humans themselves?
How to judge whether human beings have formed their current civilization because of their high (you) wisdom (yue) and wisdom (gan), or are they dominated by other creatures?
This is a question that is too advanced in biology, but parasite can make the host snail climb the highest leaves for birds to eat, and I am afraid that the same thing will happen to the host human.

In addition to the earliest confirmed mitochondria and chloroplasts as alien microorganisms, there is also the Gaia hypothesis in the biological field many years ago, and the discovery of the importance of human microbiota, which has become more and more popular in the past two years, every progress is a slap in the face of human beings Slap in the face. Whether you think you don't like meat (such as the new blood-drinking species in the film), or eating vegetables (such as the creatures that don't drink blood in the film), or you don't get fat no matter what you eat, or you get fat when you drink cold water, Or are you really hungry or your brain is lying to you, blah blah blah, all complicated by the presence of symbiosis.

Human microbiota can digest and decompose the food in the mouth, can transform the carcinogens into harmless substances or vice versa, can eliminate foreign invaders, can cure diseases, can lose weight...
We are far Not as important as we thought.
In other words, we need symbiosis more.
Our choices determine our society, civilization and even human nature, and our choices are made by human symbiotic creatures together with humans.


Evolution is constantly happening. Vertebrates become the overlords of the ocean, reptiles occupy the land, mammals rise, Homo sapiens wipe out other early human species, and the genes of symbiotic organisms and hosts jointly determine the past and the future. happen, and new species will one day replace Homo sapiens. If the same is true of the universe, where do we go from here?

"They just want to live. Everyone wants that."
They are not only infected humans, but also genes "parasitic" in everyone's body.
